Do the Lakers have a chance?
teecee:
Well VZA, i agree with most of your post, except for the rigged part, that is a little too much of a conspiracy theory! The Pistons are actually a very good TEAM, even if they don't have four future hall of famers. I too thought this was gonna be 4 str8 lakers, but WOW! Even if the lakers do still win, which is possible, the Pistons are a great team with incredible team defense and some players who make some very big shots (sheed, billups, rip).....of course, the Lakers SHOULD win the series with Kobe and Shaq, but maybe it does have something to do with the coaching. Noone really knows how good Phil is as a techinical coach, but all i know is his record speaks for itself.........

I think in order for the Lakers to win, they need a new coach. Phil Jackson is highly overrated and right now it's really showing. He wastes timeouts, he puts players in at times that don't make sense. Same thing goes for his match ups. Why wear Kobe out running around chasing Rip when you need his energy on the offensive side? Why call a timeout between Ben Wallace free throws? What is that gonna do... throw off his rhythm? The boy can't make them anyway. Those are just some of the mistakes by the so called zen master.
The other thing is the refs. I know I'm not the only one who notices how the Pistons get to hack the Lakers but the Lakers get whistled for simply bumping into somebody. If you ask me, I think these games are rigged. Maybe the refs were told to give Detroit these games to prolong the series. More games=more money for the NBA. I don't know... I'm just upset at the outcome of these games. I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world if Detroit wins... at least it's not the Kings.

I agree about the refs...Lakers get to the line more than any other team in the NBA...But this series, Lakers have gotten to the line half as many times as Detroit has...I hope Phil Jackson says something about this...PeACe

Detroit's gonna whip their ass. It's sad, seeing Magic Johnson's great team defaced like this. Kobe & Shaq are a couple fuckin' clowns, they're crybabies, and they're symbolic of the money that has ruined Basketball. Excuse me, they're symbolic of the people that have ruined Basketball by being clouded by dollar signs. Money doesn't ruin people, people who get hollywood do. Professional Basketball is a fucking joke, nothing but a bunch of millionaries running around who never got forced to grow up.

^ Another tactic employed by people that haven't grown up; complain about the Ref's. Lack of skill can't be to blame, it can't be the Laker's own fault; it has to be some outside force. Face it: They just fucked up. It's not the ref's, it's not even Detroit. the Lakers fucked themselves.
